Trent Reznor Side-Project Details Leak

The title and tracklist of Trent Reznor's new album with side project How To Destroy Angels appears to have leaked ahead of its release in 2013.

The leak was made by a careless Last.Fm user who "scrobbled" the tracks to its service which tracks listening habits, according to Antiquiet. The user named Blank667 tracked songs from the EP but also eight more songs which are believed to be from the forthcoming album.

A fan alerted Rob Sheridan from the band which led to the Last.fm account being closed, but not before the possible album title "Welcome Oblivion" and full tracklist was revealed.

With the album still months from release, these details could be subject to change (if true at all), but here they are:

"Welcome Oblivion" tracklist:

01. Keep It Together
02. The Wake-Up
03. Too Late, All Gone
04. We Fade Away
05. Recursive Self-Improvement
06. Hallowed Ground
07. And the Sky Began to Scream
08. Ice Age
09. On the Wing
10. How Long?
11. The Loop Closes
12. Strings and Attractors

The group which includes collaborator Atticus Ross will release the EP "An Omen" on November 13, with the album to follow in early 2013.

I love his wife!

[CJMusics]

i love him. No homo.

[Dostoyevskian]

Full homo.

[baumaxx1]

So what if the track titles were leaked?

They can just post a studio update or stream a track like Deftones have been doing to generate interest before the release.

[tennesseehild]

Is it me or does anybody else think the music he does with his wife sucks ass. Most musicians have great side projects to rival their original bands: Stonesour, The Raconteurs, The Dead Weathers were ok, MD .45, Phil Collins solo project, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer, the list goes on but Trent needs to go back to NIN.

[Schwimmy]

Well thats an entirely subjective view. I personally think this is pretty cool. Seems like a lot of people do. But hey, if you don't like it don't buy the album

[cyclonus]

Sounds like Closer being played backwards

[onealsm]

"Welcome Oblivion". That's a great album title. Why didn't I think of that?

[TOOLeffingTOOL]

Agreed. It seems to me that this was blown a little out of proportion. The title of the album and track list mean virtually nothing without the music.

Also Trent has to be the master at generating buzz about his music, I would not be surprised at all to learn this account was actually him

[Schwimmy]

Could be a practical joke like Tool pulled before Lateralus was released, giving out a bunch of fake titles.

[vinnym86]

hehe, fake titties

[Comeback Kiddd]

I was going to call you immature but then I realized I laughed hard at that

[vinnym86]

Suck it, Trebek!

[zalant]

I would have liked to hear more dynamics throughout the song, but despite that, it's still pretty good. I really like her voice. There's something about it that kinda gives me goose bumps.

[Irueludruel]

Pretty bad. Trent is overrated.

[Ibeanez]

Agreed.

[BradTheBluefish]

2nd that. He's only good when he plays his upbeat songs but even then its not many.

[Redon13]

Whispering abuse.

[Abacus11]

I liked the EP they put out a couple of years ago. I'm definitely looking forward to hearing this.

[Salvo416]

Thats nice but when are we getting a new NIN album?

[CaliforniaKid]

What isn't a "side project" for Reznor?

[ShevanelFlip]

Nin Inch Nails?.....

[Anjohl]

I don't indulge romantic collaborations, because they rarely last, which means if you like the album, you will be left wanting mpre. Also, what are the odds that two people in love will also be talented musicians who have good chemistry?

[MichaelScarn]

isnt NIN a side project already

[Forkman]

Finding that song really really good. Excited!

[blacksoulrock]

Trent Reznor sounds like Brock Lesnor
